He's been pretty much unhittable lately...took out Andruw in a bases loaded situation...

No... A guy by the name of Josh Hamilton is going to claim that award.

I honestly cant see him being a candidate at all at the end of the year. I think the Diamondbacks will have at least one in contention. Pelfrey can be an interesting chance and you never know with Hamilton.
He is pitching good without a doubt but ROY, whens the last time a reliever won that ?

2005 - Huston Street (American League)
2000 - Kazuhiro Sazaki (American League)
1999 - Scott Williamson (National League)
1989 - Gregg Olson (American League)
1986 - Todd Worrell (National League)
1980 - Steve Howe (National League)
I believe there was more relievers to win ROY but I cannot recall who they were. So it's happened recently...
Most of those relievers were closers...well I think they all were

It's going to be tough for Joe to stand out in our deep bullpen. Right now, he's 1 of like 4 pitchers who have a 0.00 era in our pen. Doesn't mean I'm not happy to have him, he looks great - great story, but ROY may be a reach.

Yeah meant to not including closers, but still it proves that its hard to a rookie reliever to win the award. In almost 30 years six relievers won it with both leagues combined.
